Class Note 1954
Issue
March-April 2020
Maya Frost-Belansky ’20 is the Richard P. Lederer ’54 Rockefeller Center 2019 intern. Maya interned in the Boulder regional office of the Colorado state public defender. The organization represents clients accused of criminal offenses who are either in custody or are unable to afford private counsel. Maya’s role included drafting and filing the basic documents, reviewing client discovery, and summarizing the vast amounts of evidence. Her favorite time was the monthly tradition of “Law Day,” when her group reviewed the latest appellate decisions handed down from the Colorado Supreme Court. Maya feels that criminal defense will be her career goal.
Our sponsored athlete, Ethan Banks ’23, a distance freestyler from Pepper Pike, Ohio, swam for the University School in Hunting Valley as well as the Canton City schools club team. His academic accolades include being named a National Merit semifinalist, USA Swimming Scholastic All-American, achieving a gold medal on the 2018 National Latin exam, and being named a Strnad Fellow during his senior year of high school. He is just as accomplished in the pool as he is in the classroom. Ethan will be an immediate contributor in the 500 free, 1,000 free, and 1,650 free events on the Dartmouth team. SwimSwam.com published a great article announcing Ethan’s commitment to Dartmouth at https://swimswam.com/ethan-s-banks-commits-to-dartmouth-class-of-2023.
Jim Tofias received a note from swim coach Jim Holder: “Thank you for your generous support of the Dartmouth athletic’s sponsor program. The support of the class of 1954 was integral in bringing Ethan Banks to campus for his official visit. We expect Ethan to have an immediate impact on the team in the middle and distance events. Thank you for the support. Go Big Green!”
The annual holiday in N.Y.C.’s Dartmouth Club felt the results of advanced age in attendance, which dwindled down to 10 classmates and five widows.
We mourn the passing of Jameson Doig, Harry Hughes, Lee Harris, Mike Spicer, Sandy Gillespie, and Gloria Franklin.
